Advocates of greater DDS spending realize that more funding is needed if the U. S. is to successfully tackle decreasing income inequality. However, the advocates often lack the political power to be able to increase the level of DDS spending. This is due to all of the following except: Question 3 options: a) the Department of Defense (DOD) places military bases in districts where federal politicians live so that these politicians can help claim a huge amount of the governments' funding. b) federal politicians are strong advocates of military spending and not only oppose any cuts in this spending, but are successful in getting their agenda passed. c) equality advocates are able to lobby foreign entities and foreign corporations for help in funding programs in America that would decrease extreme income inequality. d) other politicians who work with equality advocates have not been successful in getting rid of the huge tax cuts that the wealthy receive which depletes tax revenues and severely lowers DDS funding
